The most expressive and oompre.
hensiye manner of portraying the
state of political affairs in Audubon
county, is in the stereotyped phrase,
"the political eauldroR Is beginning
to seethe." Republicans, however,
are active in the interests ofthe party,
in harmony and united for victory.
In the party is found complement
Of aspirants for honors, but all will
abide the decisions of the convention
and emerge from its counsels in sup.
port of the chosen representatives.
1t is encouraging that all who court
the peoples favor are men al good
character and credit to the party.

The tent meetings were discon-
tinued Monday evening, after two
weeks continuance. They have
been attended by remarkably large
number Of people, considering the
season. Each night people have
come from several miles in the coun-
try, evincing an absorbing interest.
Rev. Harris has been doing earnest
and able work in which he has re-
ceived valuable assistance from
neighboring pastors. The tent will
be moved to Atlantic, where the
camp meeting will be commenced
on next Tuesday, Aug. 9th. The
meeting has been extensively adver.
tised, and a very large attendance
and deep interest is promised,

THERE is a young editor wandering
on the face of the earth who formerly
published paper at Storm Lake, Iowa
He left there the day after the issue OF
the last paper, and is supposed to be
crossing the state on foot to get away
from an Infatuated female population.
1t seems there was a concert given by
young ladies of the city, and the gal.
liant young editor wrote it up in splen-
did shape. The same day he had Wis
tied herd of shorthorn cattle owned
by farmer in the vicinity, and he
wrote up the cattle also. The Cross
eyed foreman of the Office got the two
articles mixed as follows: 1.-THE con-
cert given last evening by sixteen of
Storm Lakes most beautiful and in.
teresting young ladies was highly ap-
preciated. They were elegantly dressed
and sang in a most charming manner
winning the plaudits of the entire au-
dience, who pronounced them the fin
est breed of shorthorns in the county
A few Of them are Of a rich brown col.
or, but the majority are spotted brown
and white. Several Of the heifers were
fine bodied, tight imbed animals, and
promise to prove good property. LAS

not in any way obscure the engraving.
The map is 21x14 inches, on a scale Of
20 miles to one inch. It is folded and
bound in neat paper covers for the
pocket, together with new and ready
compilation and Ready Reference In

of the dry goods store of buffet, Michael

of preventing the fire flom spreading

TEE sacretaTv of tbe crawl,

THE secretary of the Crawford coun-
ty fair last year sent the following Cir
cular to the newspapers along with the
season tickets: "This ticket has prob
ably been paid for a dozen times over
by the paper to which it is issued. 1t
will be honored in the hands of any
man, woman or child-whits, black, red
or yellow-who favors this association
by presenting 1t. 1t is good for en-
trance and grand stand, and the bearer
if driving, will be entitled to pass a
team free. The association recognizes
the fact that its splendid success is
owing largely, if not wholly, to the
notices so freely given by the press, and
while we can not render an equivalent
in cash, we return many thanks. That
secretary's head is level.

Rev. +. T. ingalls,, of this city, who
is attending the State Sunday School
Convention at Wichita, among other
good things in the discussion of ques-
lions relating to Sunday School work
and discipline said:
If we have power we shall have sue
cess, without it we shall fail. All our
power is from God through Christ by
the Holy Spirit. We may have all the
machinery and all the activity. but un-
less we are connected directly with
God we are nothing. We get some
power in associations and conventions,
but we must also have personal COM
munion with Christ. We are 30 busy
with outside activities that we have nc
time for secret, quiet communion with
our Savior. Constant activity ends in
bankruptcy" We, as s. s. teachers
fail to realize that we are pastors OF
our classes and have a responsibility
that reaches over all their lives and
throughout all the work.
We have teacher who keeps q rec.
ord of the birthday of each of hel
scholars and on these days she sends 9
personal letter to the scholar. It is nc
wonder that that class grows con
stantly. In case of absence or sickness
she always visits. She is the pastor
of her class.

WE have in our statute book law
a revised and improved temperance
lava law which was gotten up and
thoroughly endorsed by the temperance
people of the state as an almost per-
feet prohibitory law. This law pro-
vides that druggists shall sell liquors
under certain prescribed regulations.
Now then, in the interest Of prohibit
ton, we suggest that it is not just the
thing for temperance people to attempt
TO prevent reputable druggists from
selling liquor under this law, for just
as sure as they do, greater amount of
liquor will be unlawfully sold. If the
law is all right, why attempt to keep
the druggists flom taking out permits
and complying with the law? If liquor
is to be sold under certain restrictions
the thing to do is to confine the seller
and buyer to the legal restrictions and
not attempt to drive the traffic from
reputable drug stores to joints.-Eldo-

John Whitworth, who resided four
miles east of this city, had his house
totally destroyed by fire on Monday,
the End inst. Mr.. Whitworth pur-
chased the place about one year ago of
p. G. Cowling, and had just returned
from England with his family, bring
ing with him a large outfit of house
hold furniture and other goods, much
of which was very valuable and most
of which was consumed by the flames.
His wife lost gold watch valued at
seven hundred dollars. Mr.. WhitWorth
lost his gold watch and about eighty
dollars in money. Valuable carpets,
clothing, furniture and many things
highly priced by the family which can
not be replaced, were also consumed.
The total loss was about 90, 600. The
house was partially insured. Through
the efforts of neighbors his barn and
some other property was saved. Our
informant, D. NJ. May. says that Mr..
Whitworth intends to rebuild as soon
as possible. He occupies small tenant
house on the place for the time being.
The place is known as the Col. Whitley
farm.

THE Atchison Champion speaks a
good word for itself and for every 9TH
81 newspaper as follows:
With all these booms there should be
a newspaper boom. This is not sug-
gestion to the newspapers but the peo-
pie. The Champion will in short time
enlarge and endeavor to keep at the
head of the procession. But the peo-
pie of Atchison have much to learn
about the uses and effects of newspa-
pers. The art of advertising may be
said to be in its childhood. The people
having the boom on hand do not know
how to tell the world of it. They seem
to think that the newspapers should do
that at their own expense. They do
not realize that outsiders do not con-
fine themselves to reading editorials
and locals. They look at advertising
columns to satisfy themselves as to the
amount of business done. They GER
tainly do not credit the town with
branches Of business they do not see ad-
vertised. People are not expected to
hear horn that is not blown.

THE mayor of Holyoke, Mass, has
views concerning prohibition which are
more practical than constitutional.
Directing to the sale of liquor in the
city, he declines to sign any liquor
licenses, and as the police cooperate
with him, all the saloons are closed.
Originality of any kind is deserving of
certain amount of admiration, pro-
vided the motives which prompt it are
pure and unselish, and Holyoke's
mayor is at least above the common
place and cewardly. But the law
courts may, and probably will, give
him the option of either following pre-
cedent or resigning his office.-Globe-

ga man who is working to secure a

large estates and princely incomes may
be very amusing, but they are not half
so profitable as the vision Of q lot

petual motive to moderation in pas

sive companions. Thus it will come to

There is a rapidly increasing demand
from farmers, dairymen and stockmAn
for Q wind mill that will not only pump
water, but also furnish power for rum
ming YnAohinery used about the barn and

shelter, wood saw, churn, grindstone or

machines. All this has successfully been
done by wind power. Millers, too, are
beginning to see the value OF wind as 9
